Salesforce World Tour: Feeling the Energy, Boston!

By

As we touched down in snowy Boston this week to bring you the Salesforce World Tour, I was reminded of the amazing energy and passion of our Awesome Admins! The winter weather didn’t stop us from connecting or learning, and we want to thank all of you for being so welcoming. Over 5000 people filled Hynes Convention Center on Thursday and our admin community was there in full force.

Showcasing the Awesomeness

Jennifer Lee from John Hancock was honored in the Pre-Keynote with the #AwesomeAdmin award for her amazing community service, relentless dedication to the Admin community and earning 102 Trailhead badges. Yes, you read that correctly – 102 badges! Way to go Jennifer!

Our very own Sarah Franklin, VP of Admin and Developer Marketing, rocked the stage with amazing live demos of the Platform and she even asked the local MVP community to stand up and I was clapping loudly for you guys – boy, do you guys deserve a round of applause!

Trailhead Zone, Admin Style!

Admins love to hear from other Admins. The theater was packed to the brim with admins looking to learn from others in their shoes! The most common question I got from attendees was, will the presentations be posted? Yes! They are listed below. HUGE thank you again to all of our Admin and Evangelist presenters. Make sure to check out the photobooth photos and zone photos on our Facebook album.
